Global assessment of nitrogen deposition effects on terrestrial plant diversity: a synthesis
Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is a recognized threat to plant diversity in temperate and northern parts of Europe and North America. This paper assesses evidence from field experiments for N…
The effect of different historical emissions datasets on emission targets of the sectoral mitigation approach Triptych
For some countries, the differences in historical emissions data are large. This leads to big differences in emission allocations: for 18 of the 32 countries considered, reduction targets in 2020…
A global model for residential energy use: Uncertainty in calibration to regional data
Uncertainties in energy demand modelling allow for the development of different models, but also leave room for different calibrations of a single model. We apply an automated model calibration…
Progress in the modelling of critical thresholds, impacts on plant species diversity and ecosystem services in Europe. CCE Status report 2009
The CCE Status Report 2009 demonstrates that effects of nitrogen deposition are interrelated with the change of climate and biodiversity. The report proposes indicators, modelling methodologies and…
Telkens weer blijkt dat veel mensen die aangeven dat ze willen verhuizen, dat uiteindelijk niet doen. Anderen daarentegen verhuizen tegen de verwachting in juist wél. In het artikel 'Het individu telt…
Progress in the modelling of critical thresholds, impacts on plant species diversity and ecosystem services in Europe. CCE Status report 2009
De effecten van overmatige stikstofdepositie kunnen niet los gezien worden van klimaatverandering en biodiversiteitsverlies. Dit blijkt uit het Status Rapport 2009 van het Coordination Centre for…
Human alteration of the global nitrogen and phosphorus soil balances for the period 1970–2050
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) scenarios allow for describing contrasting future developments in agricultural nutrient use under changing climate for the next five decades. Massive…
Modelling recovery from soil acidification in European forests under climate change
A simple soil acidification model was applied to evaluate the effects of sulphur and nitrogen emission reductions on the recovery of acidified European forest soils. In addition we included the…
Modelling the long-term soil response to atmospheric deposition at intensively monitored forest plots in Europe
The dynamic soil chemistry model SMART was applied to 121 intensive forest monitoring plots (mainly located in western and northern Europe) for which both element input (deposition) and element…
Hoe open is de Waddenzee? Een indicator voor de openheid van het Waddenlandschap
Doel van het beleid is het behoud van het open karakter van de Waddenzee. Maar hoe meet je dat? Het PBL heeft een indicator uitgewerkt om de effecten van veranderingen in het landschap op de openheid…
